I love the JDM vehicle selections from this series. I am a Supra fanboy. Having said that, lot of sellers are advertising these as 1/64 scale cars & I finally, finally, finally ran into some at Target yesterday?
Ignore this first photo & go to the second pic.
In person, this is closer to what I saw. If Supra was the size of the Chevy Suburban, it maybe close to 1/64. It was huge, but I have handful of Jada stuff & that maybe typical for them. Too bad, because I didn't pick up any.
I'm pretty sure way more kids & collectors want it in 1/64 than the numbers of kids & collectors who wants it in this mystery scale. I hope Jada comes around someday & start making way more money. They got the cars right, they just need to go with the winning size! ;)
You are totally right. Jada advertises these as 1/64 scale but they are nowhere near the 1/64 of Hotwheels, Matchbox, and Tomica. It is closer to 1/52 scale.
ReplyDeleteAnd they've been at it for sometime. I've had Jada castings in the past, some really neat ones, but they are all oversized.
DeleteSame can be said about M2's, but I was surprised to see their JDM 510/Bluebird arrive in same exact size as the TLV Bluebird.

I once had M2 designer comment on this blog before, so maybe he took notice of the TLVs(okay, bit more likely he saw it on Lambley Blog lol).
